Army has commissioned me to do a repaint on his recently purchased DP deluxe lid. This lid has seen some action with a few bondo spots reviled after the paint was removed, it also has been reinforced with fibergalss on the inside. I went through and removed the prvious paint job had have hit it with a fresh coat of primer. Tomorrow night I will hit it with the first layer of paint for this fully layed paint job.

Well did a little more work last night. I put down the base metal color that I use for the underlying scratch marks. So between tonight and tomorrow I will be tracing out and masking off damage and should be laying down the silver coat on Thursday.

Unfortunatly that is the way the dent is really soft. Yeah I am hoping my replacement lid from Chris will be showing up any day so I can get started on the paint for that one too. I got the silver coat put on today and will post up some pics later once the paint dries a little more. From here I will be spending the next few days tracing out and masking all the silver damage before I lay down the gray layer.

I have been really working on getting my templates redone as the dimensions for this thing are all over the place. I just about have everything traced out and should have it masked out by mid week with the paint going on then. In my process I mask out all the silver damage and then lay down the gray layer and from there I go section by section anding on top.

Alright Got the Gray down and removed the masking Fluid. From here I will go section by section so I will first finish off the two back panels and then from there I will do the front mandibles and the trim. I am going to put down a clear coat here and start working on the stencils fro the back.

Well got some more work done on this I got all the trim, key slots and mandibles done along with the right ear cap part of the left ear cap and the range finder. From here I will work on the upper cheeks and finish up the left ear.

Alright got more work done on this bad boy!!! We now have the dome and cheeks done and all that is left to do is the kill stripes and the final weathering with a few touch ups here and there. On to the pics.

Well alright got some more work done. I was able to get the the kill stripes added as well as adding some shading around the dent and along the bottom of the lower cheeks. Tomorrow I will be hitting this with some black washes and then lightly dusting it with some weathering spray and then we are done!!!!.
